Need to make a primal scream without gathering footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh facts of Awful youā€™ll near-instantly regret.

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    Thanks for the suggestions. The LLM is free to use (for now) so I thought Iā€™d poke it and see how much I should actually be paying attention to these things this time around.

    Here are its answers. I canā€™t figure out how to share chats from this god-awful garbage UI so youā€™ll just have to trust me or try it yourself.

    1. It gives the correct but unnecessary answer: ā€œIf I were to ask you which door leads to freedom, which door would you point to?ā€ It also mentions a lying guard but also acknowledges that itā€™s absent from this specific problem.
    2. ā€œA table or a chairā€
    3. Completely fails on this one, it missed the sentence ā€œEveryone knows the color of their eyesā€
    4. Not sure what to do with this
    5. ā€œWhile a Hadamard matrix of order 2672 might exist, its existence isnā€™t immediately provable using the most common constructionsā€ ā€“ I wonā€™t pretend to know anything about the Hadamard conjecture if thatā€™s a real thing so I have no idea what itā€™s on about here.

    edit: I didnā€™t do any prompt engineering, just straight copy paste.
